It's True—Everyone Is Wearing This Shoe Style With Leggings Again

We may have previously only associated leggings with a workout or a sofa day, but now, they're a fully functioning piece in our everyday wardrobe (no matter the plans.) While we're big fans of leggings with knee-high boots, it seems as though A-listers have cottoned on to a slightly more surprising pairing and are wearing their leggings with one shoe style in particular: Ankle boots.
Yes, you read correctly—ankle boots (and not just UGGS) have made their way back into celebrities' legging outfits, many of which are heeled iterations. We've seen one of WWW's favourite style icons, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for example, in her long vest, athletic leggings, and pointed suede ankle boots—and we were sold on the look.
Need further proof? Scroll for the celeb-approved legging-and-ankle-boot outfits that may encourage you to follow suit.
1. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Style Notes: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley pairs here Wardrobe NYC leggings with YSL ankle boots and looks so chic doing so. Add oversized layers to help balance our proportions and give the look that cool girl touch.

2. Jasmine Tookes
Style Notes: Jasmine goes down the classic route by opting for Uggs as her ankle boot of choice and I just love it. While there's something to be said for a heeled boot and legging combo, you can't go wrong with the classics. Add cosy socks like Jasmine for extra comfort during weekend errand running.

3. Victoria Beckham
Style Notes: Ok, the whole Who What Wear team have agreed: this is an outfit worth copying, stat. An all-black looking consisting of leggings paired with a sleek black roll-neck and stiletto, sock-style boots is just so stylish.

4. RITA ORA
Style Notes: I just love Rita's pairing here. Split hem leggings look so good with a classic heeled ankle boot and this is a duo you can easily dress up or down. Wear with a jumper at the weekend or a silk cami and blazer for a night out.
